NEW & IMPROVEMENTS
CLASS CHANGES
In the last update, we changed the Night Crow skill to be influenced by Movement Speed instead of Casting Speed. However, Sorceress Adventurers found it inconvenient to obtain Movement Speed Increase effects compared to the more readily available Casting Speed Increase effects. This was especially problematic in Succession, where players had to use the Night Crow skill after jumping. To address this inconvenience and ensure a consistent sense of distance with movement skills, we have made the necessary adjustments.Common
- Changed the Movement Speed Increase effect while jumping: +10% for 10 sec → +15% for 10 sec
- Removed the key command where pressing LMB + RMB after the skill's extra attack while it was locked would combo into Rushing Crow.
- You will need to press the pre-existing key command for Rushing Crow instead to combo into the skill.
Succession
- Removed the effect of consuming Shards of Darkness to increase movement distance, but increased the base movement distance.
- The skill will no longer consume any Shards of Darkness, and won't be able to benefit from the shard-consuming effects once applied from Prime: Agent of Abyss.
- Removed pressing RMB while dashing to attack and changed the skill to now automatically trigger the attack if there are enemies in front while dashing.
- Changed the effect gained from consuming Shards of Darkness: Increased movement distance → Increased damage
- Increased the base movement distance accordingly.
- Added the "Movement Speed +15% for 10 sec" effect.
- Removed pressing LMB while dashing to attack and changed the skill to now automatically trigger the attack if there are enemies in front while dashing.
- Added the "Increased damage upon consuming Shards of Darkness" effect.
- Performing the skill while having consumed Shards of Darkness will also apply the Prime: Agent of Abyss shard-consuming effect.
- Added details on effects gained from consuming Shards of Darkness in the description.
- Fixed the issue where Fragments of Darkness were being created even without hitting targets.
Awakening
- Changed the Movement Speed Increase effect: +10% for 10 sec → +15% for 10 sec
